15K/15K Membrane – high waterproofness and breathability

The most important technical feature of the model AULP ELFFY LICHEN is the functional membrane 15K/15K, which provides a high level of weather protection.

The membrane is designed to minimize water and snow intrusion while allowing water vapor to pass from the inside of the garment.

Main advantages of the 15K/15K membrane

• Waterproof rating 15,000 mm: high resistance to water penetration.

• Breathability 15,000 g/m²/24 h: effective moisture wicking.

• Snow protection: suitable for winter weather conditions.

• Wind protection: helps reduce body cooling.

• Comfort while skiing: balance of protection and breathability.

What does waterproof 15,000 mm mean?

The value 15,000 mm water column represents laboratory-measured material resistance to water penetration.

Such a value provides a high level of protection in snow, wet snow, and other winter precipitation.

What does breathability 15,000 g/m²/24 h mean?

The value 15,000 g/m²/24 h describes laboratory-measured ability to allow water vapor to pass through the material.

This is important during active skiing, as it helps reduce moisture buildup under the jacket.

The 15K/15K membrane provides a good balance between waterproofness, wind protection, and breathability.

Actual performance also depends on weather conditions, level of activity, and the base layers used.
